Bradford Grammar SchoolEducation, Bradford, UK

“The install of SANsymphony has literally been the difference between night and day.” Simon recollects: “We had been limping along with a single SAN, so it was a pleasure to be able to turn everything on at once and see it powering through.

install grinded to a halt. The same fault happened every time the system was re-started, accompanied by data corruption. Over the next 12 months fixes were promised, but none materialised

DataCore Solution• SANsymphony solution complete with High Availability, Synchronous mirroring & Auto-tiering

Customer Benefits• Disaster Recovery is now assured, with replication occurring to an offsite hosted node• For random writes DataCore’s Random Write Accelerator feature now effectively takes these highly

random workloads and sequentialises them to achieve greater performance• The backup window has decreased significantly & internet access performs better
